Virtuino
1. What is Virtuino: Virtuino is an Android app for monitorig sensos or control electrical devices via Bluetooth, local wifi or Internet
Control Arduino over BLUETOOTH
Control Arduino over INTERNET (Ethernet shield or ESP8266)
Control Arduino over WIFI (ESP8266)
Control Arduino with SMS
Control internet of things server - Thingspeak data monitor
Control at the same time more than one Arduino boards
Visualize your Arduino project.
Create visual interfaces with widgets like LEDs, buttons, switches, value displays, instruments, regulators etc.
Easy to use. You need to add only two or three lines to your Arduino code

Step 2: Arduino code
Click the link below to download Virtuino Library (Don't unzip the downloaded file)
Virtuino Library ver 1.1 Download
- Run Arduino IDE software to add Virtuino library
- Go to Menu/Sketch/Include Library/Add .ZIP Library
Find and Load Virtuino Library zip file you have just downloaded
- Go to Menu/File/Examples/Virtuino_Library/
- Select: webserver_ethernet_shield_example_01
On the code enter the a correct IP address.
This depends on your router IP
If your Router IP is 192.168.1.1 enter an ip like 192.168.1.150
If your Router IP is 192.168.2.1 enter an ip like 192.168.2.150 etc.
When you are ready connect Arduino board to a USB port and upload the code
Step 3: Virtuino app settings
Enable your Android device internet connection
Run Virtuino app

Tutorial description:
Enable or disable the Arduino uno board LED of pin 13 via Virtuino App using ESP8266 wifi module
Step 1: Arduino connections
Connect an ESP8266 module to Arduino board as the plan below
Step 2: Arduino code
Click the link below to download Virtuino Library (Don't unzip the downloaded file)
Virtuino Library ver 1.1 Download
- Run Arduino IDE software to add Virtuino library
- Go to Menu/Sketch/Include Library/Add .ZIP Library
Find and Load Virtuino Library zip file you have just downloaded
- Go to Menu/File/Examples/Virtuino_Library/
- Select: webserver_esp8266_example_01
On the code set the corect baud rate of your esp8266 module
Enter your wifi network name and password
Enter a correct IP address for your ESP8266 module.
This depends on your router IP
If your Router IP is 192.168.1.1 enter an ip like 192.168.1.140
If your Router IP is 192.168.2.1 enter an ip like 192.168.2.140 etc.

Virtuino Tutorial 01 : Bluetooth basic connections
Tutorial description:
Enable or disable the Arduino board LED of pin 13 via Virtuino App using bluetooth
Step 1: Arduino connections
Connect a bluetooth module to Arduino board as the plan below:
HC-05 works perfecty with Virtuino
Step 2: Arduino code
Click the link below to download Virtuino Library (Don't unzip the downloaded file)
Virtuino Library ver 1.1 Download
- Run Arduino IDE software to add Virtuino library
- Go to Menu/Sketch/Include Library/Add .ZIP Library
Find and Load Virtuino Library zip file you have just downloaded
- Go to Menu/File/Examples/Virtuino_Library/
- Select: Example_01_bluetooth
On the code find the line
VirtuinoBluetooth virtuino(bluetoothSerial,9600);
If your bluetooth module has different baud rate set the correct serial speed
The baud rate of new HC-05 modules is 9600 bps
When you are ready connect Arduino board to a USB port and upload the code
Step 3: Android device settings
Go to your Android device Bluetooth settings
Enable bluetooth and wait until your device scans for other bluetooth devices nearby
Pair your Android device with Arduino bluetooth module. (The password is usally 1234)
These settings need to be executed once only
